Wendy worked there 9 hours a day for 13 days in August. How much did the restaurant pay her?
Amount that the restaurant paid Wendy for the first 5 hours
= 5 x 8.60
= $43
Duration that Wendy worked after the first 5 hours
= 9 - 5
= 4 h
Amount that the restaurant paid Wendy for the next 4 hours
= 4 x 10
= $40
Amount that the restaurant paid Wendy per day
= 43 + 40
= $83
Amount that the restaurant paid Wendy for 13 days
= 13 x 83
= $1079
Answer(s): $1079
